In formula (II) above, alkali metals include: sodium, potassium and lithium, but sodium is generally preferred. Further, the term "organic ammonium" is defined as a group consisting of a positively charged nitrogen atom joined to from one to four groups, each containing from one to 20 carbon atoms. Among the organic ammonium groups which are illustrative for the preparation of the organic ammonium salts of the formula (II) phenylsulfonyl carboxamide herein are: monoalkylammonium, dialkylammonium, trialkylammonium, tetraalkylammonium, monoalkenylammonium, dialkenylammonium, trialkenylammonium, monoalkynylammonium, dialkynylammonium, trialkynylammonium, monoalkanolammonium, dialkanolammonium, trialkanolammonium, C₃ -C₆ cycloalkylammonium, piperidinium, morpholinium, pyrrolidinium, benzylammonium and equivalents thereof. Exemplary of halogen hereinabove are chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and iodine, but chlorine, bromine and fluorine are preferred.

A more preferred group of formula (I) and formula (II) compounds are those wherein

A is methyl;

R₁ is methyl;

R₂ is isopropyl;

R₃ is hydrogen, halogen or methyl;

R₅ is halogen or methyl, and

W is oxygen.

As indicated above, the present invention relates to novel formula (II) herbicidal benzenesulfonyl carboxamide compounds and novel formula (I) benzenesulfonyl-2-imidazolin-5-one compounds which can serve as intermediates for the preparation of said formula (II) compounds and, additionally, are themselves herbicidal. Thus benzenesulfonyl carboxamide compounds of formula (II) are readily prepared by treatment of compounds of formula (I) with water optionally in the presence of catalytic amounts of an acid, in an inert solvent as illustrated in flow diagram I below. ##STR3## wherein A, R₁, R₂ and Q are as described above, W is oxygen and Y is hydrogen.

Compounds of formula I for use in the above reaction may conveniently be prepared by the reaction of an α-aminoamide of formula (IV) with a carboxylic acid anhydride of formula (V) (or acid chloride or equivalent thereof), in an inert solvent, optionally in the presence of an acid acceptor to yield a formula (VI) 2-acetamido-2,3-disubstituted amide which may be cyclized by treatment with aqueous alkali to yield imidazolinones of formula (VII). Alternatively imidazolinones of formula (VII) may be prepared directly by the reaction of a formula (IV) α-aminoamide with an ortho ester of formula VIII at elevated temperature in an inert solvent. Imidazolinones of formula (I) may then be obtained by treatment of the thus obtained formula (VIII) imidazolinone with a benzenesulfonyl chloride of formula (IX) in an inert solvent in the presence of an acid acceptor such as triethylamine, pyridine, sodium hydride or the like, and isolation of the desired formula (I) product by careful exclusion of water in the workup. These reactions are illustrated in flow diagram (II) below. ##STR4## wherein A is hydrogen; C₁ -C₄ alkyl; C₁ -C₄ alkenyl; or C₁ -C₄ alkynyl each of which may be optionally substituted as described above for formula (I) and (II), and R₁, R₂ and Q are as described for formula (I) and (II) above.

Compounds of formula (II) may also be prepared by hydrolysis of compounds of formula II where A is hydrogen with aqueous acid, for example aqueous HCl, which may be isolated as 2-amino-2,3-dialkyl-N-(benzenesulfonyl)carboxamide acid salts (i.e. hydrochlorides) of formula (X) or as their corresponding free bases which exist as zwitterions of formula (XI). The resulting formula (X) or formula (XI) compound upon reaction with a carboxylic acid anhydride of formula (V) or carboxylic acid chloride (or equivalent thereof) or isocyanate of formula XII in an inert solvent (optionally in the presence of an acid acceptor) also yields compounds of formula (II) as illustrated in flow diagram (III) below. ##STR5## wherein B is (substituted)imino, substituted with straight or branched C₁ -C₆ alkyl, C₃ -C₆ cycloalkyl, C₁ -C₄ haloalkyl, straight or branched C₁ -C₆ alkenyl, C₃ -C₆ cycloalkenyl, or phenyl, benzyl, (di)alkylamino or C₁ -C₄ alkoxy.

Another method for the preparation of formula (II) benzenesulfonyl carboxamide compounds of the invention involves the sequential reaction of a formula (VI) 2-acetamido-2,3-disubstituted amide with sodium hydride followed by reaction with a formula (IX) benzenesulfonyl chloride in an inert solvent in a temperature range of about 20° C. to reflux as illustrated in flow diagram (IV) below. ##STR6## wherein A, R₁, R₂ and Q are as described for formula (II above).

Formula (II) benzenesulfonyl carboxamides may also be obtained by reaction of an α-amino acid of formula (XIII) with a carboxylic acid anhydride of formula (V) followed by reaction of the thus-formed formula (XIV) N-acylamino acid with either a dehydrating agent (such as a formula (V) anhydride or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) to give azlactone XVb, or reaction with an acylating reagent such as an alkylchloroformate to give a mixed anhydride XVa; the "activated" N-acylamino acids (XVa or XVb) are then reacted with an alkali metal salt of a benzenesulfonamide of formula (XVI) to afford, on acidification, compounds of formula (II) as illustrated in flow diagram (V) below. ##STR7## wherein A, R₁, R₂ and Q are as described above for formula (II), and M is an alkali metal.

Another method for the preparation of formula (II) benzenesulfonyl carboxamides involves the reaction of hydantoin compounds of formula (XVII) with benzenesulfonyl chlorides of formula (IX) in the presence of an acid acceptor such as triethylamine, pyridine, sodium hydride or the like, in an inert organic solvent to yield sulfonyl hydantoins of formula (XVIII). Formula (II) benzenesulfonylcarboxamide compounds of the invention may then be obtained by reaction of formula (XVIII) hydantoins with nucleophiles of formula (XIX) as illustrated in flow diagram VI below. ##STR8## wherein A is amino, alkoxy or alkylthio which may optionally be substituted as described for formula (II); and R₁, R₂, Q and Y are as described by formula (II) above.

Salts of the benzenesulfonyl carboxamide compounds of this invention may readily be prepared by reaction of a compound of formula (II) where Y is hydrogen with a base such as ammonia, an organic ammonium compound, an alkali or alkaline earth metal hydride or the like in an inert organic solvent as illustrated in flow diagram (VII) below. ##STR9## wherein A, R₁, R₂, Q, W and Y are as previously described for formula (II).

The present invention includes novel formula (VI) 2-acetamido-2,3-disubstituted amide, formula (VII) imidazolinone, formula (X) 2-amino-2,3-dialkyl-N-(benzenesulfonyl)carboxamide, formula (XI) zwitterion, formula (XVb) oxazolinone, formula (XVII) hydantoin and formula (XVIII) benzenesulfonyl hydantoin, compounds as described above in the flow diagrams which are intermediates useful for the preparation of novel formula (I) and novel formula (II) herbicidal compounds.

The formula (I) benzenesulfonyl-2-imidazolinone and formula (II) benzenesulfonyl carboxamide compounds of the present invention are effective herbicidal agents useful for the control of a wide variety of annual and perennial monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. These compounds may be applied to the foliage thereof or to soil or water containing seeds or other propagating organs of said plants such as tubers, rhizomes or stolons, at rates of from about 0.032 to 4.0 kg/ha, and preferably at rates from about 0.5 to 2.0 kg/ha.

Rates of application above the 4.0 kg/ha level may be used to effectively kill undesirable plant species. However, rates of application of toxicant in excess of the level necessary to kill the undesirable plants may be is costly and serve no useful function in the environment.

Among the plants which may be controlled with the compounds of this invention are: Helianthus annuus, Sesbania exaltata, Sinapis arvensis, Abutilon theophrasti, Brassica napus, Ambrosia artemisifolia, Xanthium strumarium, Matricaria inodora, Chenopodium album, Amaranthus retroflexus, Cirsium arvense, Datura stramonium, Ipomoea hederacea, Sida spinosa, Portulaca oleracea, Stellaria media, Calystegia sepium, Solanum carolinense, Gallium aparine, Cassia obtusifolia.

It has also been found that many of the formula (I) and formula (II) compounds of the invention are selective herbicides when applied to the foliage of plants or to soil containing seeds of said plants at relatively low rates of application, i.e., at from 0.032 to about 2.0 kg per hectare, depending on the compound used and crop treated.

In particular many of the formula (I) and formula (II) compounds of the invention have been found suitable for the control of undesirable broadleaf weeds in the presence of agronomically important crops such as corn, wheat, barley, soybeans, peanuts and the like.

Formula (II) wherein Y is a salt-forming cation, which are water soluble, can simply be dispersed in water and applied as a dilute aqueous spray to the foliage of plants or to soil containing propagating organs thereof. These salts also lend themselves to formulation as flowable concentrates. While those salts which are soluble in organic solvents, for example organic ammonium salts may be formulated as emulsifiable concentrates, suspension concentrates and the like.

The formula (I) and formula (II) compounds can also be formulated as wettable powders, flowable concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates, granular formulations and the like.

Wettable powders can be prepared by grinding together about 20% to 45% by weight of a finely divided carrier such as kaolin, bentonite, diatomaceous earth, attapulgite, or the like, about 45% to 80% by weight of the active compound, about 2% to 5% by weight of a dispersing agent such as sodium lignosulfonate, and about 2% to 5% by weight of a nonionic surfactant, such as octylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol, nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol or the like.

A typical flowable liquid can be prepared by admixing about 40% by weight of the active ingredient with about 2% by weight of a gelling agent such as bentonite, about 3% by weight of a dispersing agent such as sodium lignosulfonate, about 1% by weight of polyethylene glycol and about 54% by weight of water.

A typical emulsfiable concentrate can be prepared by dissolving about 5% to 25% by weight of the active ingredient in about 65% to 90% by weight of N-methylpyrrolidone, isophorone, butyl cellosolve, methylacetate or the like and dispersing therein about 5% to 10% by weight of a nonionic surfactant such as an alkylphenoxy polyethoxy alcohol. This concentrate is dispersed in water for application as a liquid spray.

When the compounds of the invention are to be used as herbicides where soil treatments are involved, the compounds may be prepared and applied as granular products. Preparation of the granular product can be achieved by dissolving the active compound in a solvent such as methylene chloride, N-methylpyrrolidone or the like and spraying the thus prepared solution on a granular carrier such as corncob grits, sand, attapulgite, kaolin or the like.

The granular product thus prepared generally comprises about 3% to 20% by weight of the active ingredient and about 97% to 80% by weight of the granular carrier.

In order to facilitate a further understanding of the invention, the following non-limiting examples are presented primarily for the purpose of illustrating certain more specific details thereof. Unless otherwise noted, all parts are by weight.

The reaction mixture is cooled with ice, and the pH adjusted to 5, first with conc. HCl and then with 10% HCl. The acidified solution is extracted with ethyl acetate several times affording 46 g of the title product after removal of the solvent. Concentration of the mother liquors by evaporation and extraction with ethyl acetate affords an additional 9.9 g of product. The isolated 2,4-dimethyl-4-isopropyl-1,3-imidazolin-4-one has a mp 107°-109° C.

A solution of 2-amino-2,3-dimethylbutyramide (130 g, 1 mol) and triethylorthoformate (183 mL 1.1 mol) in 850 mL of xylenes is heated to reflux using mechanical stirring, and a Dean-Stark trap to collect ethanol. After three hours and 30 minutes no more ethanol is eliminated, and the reaction mixture is allowed to attain 50° C. The mixture is concentrated to 1/3 of the volume and is then allowed to stand for 18 hours. The title product precipitates as a white solid which is collected by filtration (119.6 g), having mp 101°-104° C.

EXAMPLE 6 Preparation of 2-acetamido-2,3-dimethyl-N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)butyramide-Method A ##STR25##

p-Toluenesulfonyl chloride (2.4 g, 12.97 mmol) is added to a stirred solution of 2,4-dimethyl-4-isopropyl-1,3-imidazolin-5-one in 40 mL of methylene chloride and 1.44 g of pyridine, cooled to -10° C. under N₂. Then the reaction mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature and stir for 16 hours.

The reaction mixture is checked for completeness of formation of 4-isopropyl-2,4-dimethyl-1-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-2-imidazolin-5-one by infrared spectroscopy. The product imidazolin-5-one is then hydrolyzed by diluting the solution with 100 mL of methylene cloride and washing twice with water and once with HCl 10%. The organic layer is concentrated in vacuo and the resulting yellowish oily residue is shaken with ether and allowed to stand. Upon standing the title product precipitates as a white solid, which after filtration, washing and drying has a mp of 202°-203° C.

Utilizing the above procedure with the appropriate sulfonyl chloride and starting imidazolinone yields the formula I herbicidal 2-imidazolin-5-one intermediates and herbicidal formula II compounds listed in Table II below.

EXAMPLE 7 Preparation of 2-formamido-2,3-dimethyl-N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)butyramide ##STR27##

p-Toluenesulfonyl chloride (153.42 g, 0.0815 mol) is added to a stirred solution of 4-methyl-4-isopropyl-1,3-imidazolin-5-one, (112 g, 0.815 mol) in 1200 mL of methylene chloride, cooled to -12° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. Pyridine (91 mL) is then added, and the reaction mixture is allowed to stir at -10° C. for three hours and then allowed to attain room temperature. The completeness of formation of the intermediate imidazolinone is determined by IR. The intermediate imidazolinone is hydrolyzed by washing the reaction mixture once with 500 mL of aqueous HCl 10%, and once with water. The two-layer mixture is allowed to stand for 30 minutes and the resulting white solid filtered off and washed with ether, to yield 217.65 g of the title product as a white solid having mp 131°-135° C.

Substitution of p-chlorobenzenesulfonyl chloride for p-toluenesulfonyl chloride above affords 2-formamido-2,3-dimethyl-N-(p-chlorobenzenesulfonyl)-butyramide, mp 142°-145° C.

EXAMPLE 8 Preparation of 2-amino-2,3-dimethyl-N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)butyramide hydrochloride ##STR28##

A suspension of 2-formamido-2,3-dimethyl-N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)butyramide (99.4 g, 0.318 mols) in 500 mL of methanol, 500 mL of water, and 500 mL of aqueous HCl 10% is heated at 80° C. until all the solid has dissolved (one hour). The reaction mixture is concentrated to 1/3 of the volume and the resulting precipitate is filtered off. After drying the title product is obtained as a white solid, having mp 161°-165° C.

Substitution of 2-formamido-2,3-dimethyl-N-(p-chlorobenzenesulfonyl)butyramide, affords 2-amino-2,3-dimethyl-N-(p-chlorobenzenesufonyl)butyramide hydrochloride, mp 170°-172° C.

EXAMPLE 9 Preparation of 2-acetamido-2,3-dimethyl-N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)butyramide--Method B ##STR29##

2-Amino-2,3-dimethyl-N-(p-tolylsulfonyl) butyramide hydrochloride (45 g ˜0.4 mols) is completely dissolved in 160 mL of pyridine and 500 mL of THF is added. Acetic anhydride (45 mL) is then poured into the solution and the reaction mixture is heated at reflux for one hour. The solvents are removed under reduced pressure, and the oily residue is crystallized from EtOH/water affording 33.09 g of the title product having m.p. 198°-199° C.

EXAMPLE 10a Preparation of 2,3-dimethyl-2-propionamido-N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)butyramide ##STR30##

2-Amino-2,3-dimethyl-N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-butyramide hydrochloride (1.2 g, 5.3 mol) is dissolved in 25 mL of toluene under N₂. Then triethylamine (1.9 mL, 2.5 equivalents) is added, followed by immediate addition of propionyl chloride (0.55 mL, 6.36 mol). The reaction mixture is heated for one hour, and then solvents are removed under reduced pressure. The yellowish residue is recrystallized from EtOH/water, to yield the title product as a white solid having mp 166°-168° C.

Utilizing the above procedure with different acid chlorides yields the herbicidal formula II compounds listed in Table III below.

EXAMPLE 23 Preemergence herbicidal evaluation of test compounds

The preemergence herbicidal activity of the compounds of the present invention is exemplified by the following tests in which the seeds of a variety of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants are separately mixed with potting soil and planted on top of approximately one inch of soil in separate pint cups. After planting, the cups are sprayed with the selected aqueous acetone solution containing test compound in sufficient quantity to provide the equivalent of about 0.032 kg to 8 kg per hectare of test compound per cup. The treated cups are then placed on greenhouse benches, watered and cared for in accordance with conventional greenhouse procedures. From four to five weeks after treatment, the test are terminated and each cup is examined and rated according to the rating system set forth above. The herbicidal proficiency of the active ingredients of the present invention is evident from the test results which are recorded in Table VII below. Where more than one test is involved for a given compound, the data are averaged.
